I've heard of Noiler, the chickerite dual I don't think I have.

Could you please say a little more about it and how it differs from Noiler?

fatherjesse:
Noilers are good but tend to grow too slowly

Theanchor:
I have been rearing chickens just for family consumption for over 2yrs now and I can tell you it's a good thing to do. But coming to the best breed, well it all depends on you as no particular breed is better than the other in the real sense of it.
Noilers are good but the prize per day old is even higher than some good breeds of broilers whereas broilers grow bigger than them.
As for egg production, I have reared broilers that started laying eggs from 6months and continued until I slaughtered them.
As for feeding, the only time I give my broilers feed is in their first two weeks after which I feed them with corn and leftovers and just anything that local chickens eat, yet if you see their sizes and weight, you will marvel. And when you cook them, you hardly distinguish their tastes from that of local chickens.

I am planning to start a small poultry behind my house and would appreciate suggestions from people with experience here on the best breeds to go with.

What I'm looking for;

1. Easy to care for and not requiring too much attention.

2. Breed that is resilient.

3. Breed that can possibly produce small amounts of eggs for family consumption.

4. Can be fed with anything, leftovers, basically not requiring spending much on feed, even if I'll have to.

5. Can grow to a reasonable size for consumption (at least bigger than our regular local breeds)

Suggestions please.
Hoping I and others can learn from the experienced nairalanders. Thank you. 🙏 🙂

SsweetAnn:
Any suggestion other than Cockerel, is wrong.
We have been rearing Cockerel for more than 3 years for consumption. We feeds them corn mix with fish heads, that's all. No drugs, no treatment, no antibiotics, no nothing, they will never get sick in any condition. For the eggs, we got three local birds, Cockerel go on them always and they give us eggs always ( while eggs ) that's how we roll.
Go for cockerel. They eat anything and will not get sick.
